Edinboro, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) May 10, 2009 -- BridesVillage.com announced today that it has been recognized as one of the top 200 mom-owned businesses in StartupNation's 2009 Leading Moms In Business Competition. The competition, sponsored by VerticalResponse, recognizes the achievements of mothers across the country who run outstanding businesses.
BridesVillage.com is a popular site for wedding favors, attendants gifts and accessories. Cathy Ward, the owner of the site and winner of the competition, strives to run her business based on small town, Christian-based family values. BridesVillage.com is committed to treating its customers to a personalized shopping experience full of unique, high quality bridal accessories.
"The dream IS achievable," says Cathy Ward, owner of BridesVillage.com. "BridesVillage was initially begun with just $50 and a book of samples, and grew with years of determination. You don't have to accept what you perceive as a limitation. Identify the limitations; find the path around them or make a path through them - but don't ever stop reaching for your goals," said Ward.
"Moms across America were honored in this year's ranking, showing that they're capable of starting and running successful businesses while managing to balance family, career, home and self," said Rich Sloan, co-founder of StartupNation. "Well over 600,000 votes were cast in support of several thousand contestants. What an incredible achievement to be named a winner, and what an inspiration for anyone looking to start their own business."
"It's challenging for anyone to start and run a successful business - particularly in this economy. These women are setting the standard for innovation and creativity," said Janine Popick, founder and CEO of VerticalResponse.
StartupNation launched the first annual Leading Moms in Business Competition in January with the support of VerticalResponse to recognize the achievements of mom entrepreneurs across the US and the devotion they have to their families. Winners were selected and ranked according to public votes accumulated from January through March, 2009. The elite 200 win bragging rights, promotional support, and digital winner's emblems recognizing their achievements as the Leading Moms in Business.
